[Tacoma]

[Greg]

Happens all the time... they run 'em over, but don't clean them up.

But This Was Utah"s Prize Flock Damnit!

Is that better?

Serious, it was a prize flock?

 

[Herzog]

[Tacoma]

Kinda surprised JeepinJoe only posted this on Pirate... but I'm too sad about the wool to care LOL

Suicidal sheep....

wasn't me. I've been going to Green River, no sheep in Wyoming.

 

[Tacoma]

well, there are, but they're... inside sheep, if you can dig it. I don't mean, dig it, like, you're into that, but you know what I'm sayin'.

And I know it wasn't you, you don't drive the train. Kelsey thought that was the craziest thing... "he rides on trains all day?" Yes, he does. "that's crazy! does he eat lunch on the train??" uh, probably, they're very hard to stop... "hahah that's silly!!"

 

[Tacoma]

Damnit.. . thinking about trains again is making me want to ride them. It's the most qualitatively excellent way to travel, unless you're taking your time driving. That's better....

 

[Greg]

A Union Pacific train plowed right through the flock and kept right on going.

Uhhh, yeah.... what are they supposed to do, slam on the brakes & stop a mile later?? It's not like the train drove thru a field to get the sheep.

On the night in question, they were attacked in a field by what the sheep men believe was a neighbor's dog.

Sheep men? Isn't that like a half-sheep, half-human thing?


Strangely funny story... thanks for the link.

Suicidal sheep....

Holy crap, they DID run into the train!!

I like the insinuation there: "A Union Pacific train plowed right through the flock and kept right on going."

The crew may not have even known anything happened. Could have run into the train a mile behind the locomotives. Even if they did happen to know they hit some sheep, they're supposed to stop 24,000,000 pounds of train because some sheep rammed into them? (ok, I picked a heavy train.....but they occur regularly)

 

[Tacoma]

I really like that they just keep on going... I mean, really, it's the only thing to do!

Trains vs. anything just rocks. That the train guys do not get hurt when hitting sheep is even better. Anything that gets hit by a TRAIN deserves it.

24mil? really? wow. That's a lot of heavy.

 

[Greg]

You should have seen the Buck that got desimated on the tracks a couple weeks ago. We had to pick his liver(??) out of the switch, since we were working in the area. Nasty!!! Plus, it was a good sized deer, 4 points. What a waste... the train speed is 60 in that area.

 

[Tacoma]

I would have liked to see that!

not the liver part though. Liver's just not right.

 

[01XJ]

wow thats alot of sheep.....

 

[Amy]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

This is the funniest thread I have read in a while.
Can't stop laughing.
SWEET :greg:

 

[StrobeNGH]

no sheep in Wyoming.

Not quite . . . They are there, my mom told me about them. However, they run at the sight of men.
Blame the lonely cowboys . . .

I tell ya, that Brokeback Mountain crap was BS. Now substitute a sheep for the gay lover, and you might have a true Wyoming love story.

 

[Tacoma]

I told ya, they're "inside sheep".

I'd like to shoot every critic that says what a beautiful love story that movie is. And everyone who says "if it was a girl you wouldn't say anything"... well, that's right! Because a love story between a guy and a girl is a little different!

anyway, ya, lot of sheep, omigosh, can't believe it...
